That is pretty cool.

Let's see if I find something worthwhile to tell myself when I am 55!!!


20 years ago, there was no internet and we didn't know what email was. I had a penpal from Italy and one from South Africa somewhere. I had to go through a service to be 'set up' with one and had to pay a fee. I got my contact and it was this guy from the lago maggiore and girl from S.A. I thought it was the coolest thing on earth. I had to handwrite a letter (on that thin airmail paper you could buy) and ride my bike to the post office to have it weighed and stamped. It took forever to get there and forever for the mail to come back. It was rather exciting!! Now, all of you communicate with each other and if you want daily or hourly or whatever - no hassle, no match.com - it's soooo easy....

Just had this urge to reminisce
